Made for legal teams
One record of every conversation, shared across everyone on the matter
From intake to compliance review, HappyScribe gives your whole team one accurate record to work from. Nothing gets lost between the call and the case file.
Stay present with your client, not your notepad
HappyScribe joins your consultations and case strategy calls, so you can give the client your full attention while every commitment, deadline, and detail gets captured for you.
- Auto-joins Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams through Google or Outlook calendar sync
- Summary, action items, and a full transcript
- Custom glossaries keep case names, party names, and legal terminology accurate
Turn every client call into an organized record
Ever tried to reconstruct a call from a few scribbled notes? You won't have to. Every conversation becomes a searchable transcript that drops straight into the right matter file.
- Word-level timestamps let you cite the exact moment in any recording
- 12 export formats, including Word and PDF, ready for case files
- Search through your transcripts to retrieve old conversations
Know where every record lives, and who can open it
Decide who can access each matter's recordings and transcripts, see exactly where your data is stored, and remove records whenever you need to.
- SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR compliant, and hosted in EU Tier IV data center
- Private folders and workspace access controls, all managed centrally
- Opt out of AI model training anytime
Your confidential calls stay secure in one searchable repository
Instead of scattering across notepads and inboxes, everything a call produces lands in one place.
Structured summary
The client call organized into clear sections you can scan in seconds, ready before anything is shared.
Action items and follow-ups
Deadlines, undertakings and next steps extracted automatically after every call.
Speaker-labeled transcript
See exactly who said what, so counsel commitments and client instructions are never confused.
Share and export
Share the note with the matter team or export it in any of 12 formats for the case file.
Human legal transcription
For the official record, add human proofreading
AI transcription is fast and over 95% accurate, which is perfect for the daily flow of calls. But a deposition, a hearing prep session, or a client interview headed for the file is different. One misheard term can change what the record says.
That's where human proofreading comes in. HappyScribe's vetted native-speaker transcribers push accuracy to around 99%, with verbatim or clean-read options, custom legal formatting, and signed NDAs, in over 60 languages and usually within 24 hours.
Both available in one workspace.

Frequently asked questions
Is HappyScribe an AI legal assistant?
HappyScribe is an AI assistant for the conversational side of legal work: it records and summarizes client calls, transcribes recordings, and keeps a searchable, access-controlled archive. Notes and a full transcript are ready minutes after each call, at 95%+ accuracy on AI meeting notes. It does not give legal advice or draft legal opinions; it handles the record so your lawyers can handle the law.
How does HappyScribe keep privileged client conversations confidential?
HappyScribe is SOC 2 Type 2 audited and GDPR compliant, and hosts recordings and transcripts in EU Tier IV data centers. Private folders and workspace access controls limit who can open a matter's records, data is encrypted in transit and at rest with AES-256, and human transcribers work under NDA.
Where will HappyScribe store my legal firm's data?
In EU Tier IV data centers, under European data protection law. For firms that cannot send client data to US-hosted note-takers, HappyScribe is a European alternative: founded in Barcelona and operated from the EU, with recordings, transcripts and notes kept on EU infrastructure by default.
Can HappyScribe transcribe depositions and court recordings?
Yes. Upload deposition, hearing or interview recordings for AI transcription with over 95% accuracy on clear audio, or order human legal transcription at around 99% accuracy, with verbatim or clean-read options and custom legal formatting. Note that HappyScribe is not a certified court-reporting service, and the rules for using a transcript as evidence vary by jurisdiction, so check the requirements beforehand.
What makes HappyScribe good legal transcription software?
HappyScribe combines AI speed with an on-demand human layer in one workspace. The AI covers 150+ languages with word-level timestamps, speaker labels and 12 export formats; the human layer adds 60+ languages, around 99% accuracy and NDA-backed transcribers, typically within 24 hours. Most legal transcription software offers only one of the two.
Does HappyScribe integrate with our document management or e-discovery tools?
HappyScribe offers native calendar sync with Google and Outlook, auto-join on Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, and Zapier connections to 7,000+ apps. For document management or e-discovery workflows, the HappyScribe API delivers timestamped transcripts programmatically, so they flow into your own systems. HappyScribe does not connect to specific DMS or e-discovery products directly.
What does the free plan include?
HappyScribe’s generous free plan includes unlimited 45-minute meeting recordings with the AI notetaker, a 10-minute AI transcription trial and 3 AI file analyses. Paid plans add longer meetings, human legal transcription, and team controls.
